I see the problem as you own 80%, if you own %80 of what I do what motivates me?

If the students articulated a reasoned response instead of acting out an emotional catastrophe; they would be ignored. The real issue is the 'viral promo' culture which encourages ridiculousness and outrage.

The idea that a 'nationalism' with particular ethical values in conflict with Judaism, like Catholicism has moral and ethical values which conflict with Judaism, as a source of anti-semitism was refuted and replaced with Darwinism versus Judaism and the notion that the absence of ethical value was directly opposed to ethical value.

What is the neurological explanation for the excessive desire to find the 'optimal' algorithm, language, database ... to solve a problem rather than just solve the problem. Do we just answer 'dopamine' to any question involving behaviour motivation or could seratonin be at play? Anxiety about work product solution not being as good as it could is perhaps different than 'yay it works without an error!'

While it is possible to capture some value from data; like heat; most of that data does not actually have value until it is captured.

I'm an abrasive type teacher who gets polarized response distributions. Once when I substituted for the most highly rated professor at a local cc in my subject, I received a most memorable compliment: 'Finally, a real teacher.' ... I quit teaching after one too many interventions from administration and parents about crying kids who could not possibly make less than an A.
